Nine COVID-19 positives at Iowa

Mike Florio and Chris Simms look at how the NFL and NFLPA are handling an increase of positive tests from players as training camp approaches.

College football teams are gathering for workouts, which means positive tests for COVID-19.

According to Mike Hlas of the Cedar Rapids Gazette, Iowa announced nine positives out of 40 players tested between June 15-21.

That’s a significant percentage, following big outbreaks at schools including Clemson and LSU.

Other schools have been more fortunate, as Notre Dame announced just one positive test for a player, among 91 tests.

Four players are in self-quarantine after contact tracing showed they were near the player who tested positive, but all are asymptomatic.

The NFL still has just over a month before players are scheduled to report for training camp, and the NFLPA has advised plaers to avoid working out together until then.
